Ask a Cleveland Sex Therapist

Start by asking what’s on and off the table and remember that three people trying to navigate sex for the first time together are probably not going to move together perfectly.

Watching something that turns you on is not a declaration of sexual identity and fantasy doesn’t always equal reality.

Alarming headlines don’t always reflect reality.

Rebuilding trust will be hard, and it’s less about what happened at the sex club and more about what happens next from both sides.

Often the issue is not a lack of desire for a partner. It is that the brain and body have become so consumed with managing stress that pleasure has quietly slipped to the bottom of the priority list.

Yes but a couple of questions worth asking: Are you genuinely interested in maintaining a friendship, or are you hoping friendship becomes a pathway back into the relationship?

People change and longevity is not the same goal as sustainability. Maybe ask: If opening the relationship was not an option, what would I want to do?
